It can be in an existing building or new multi-tenant construction, with existing single-tenant buildings preferred. Key requirements include 77 surface/outside parking spaces (7 ADA compliant), proximity to amenities, public transit, and emergency services, and compliance with federal and local standards for fire safety, physical security, accessibility, seismic (though not applicable for this RLP), and sustainability. The facility must not be in a FEMA 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain and must be free of environmental hazards or asbestos (or have undamaged, nonfriable asbestos-containing materials). Loading doors are required, and column spacing must be at least 20 feet.
